    Raise Your Voice
    An awkward and sometimes confused thing fraught with overwrought emotions and misguided ideals.
  2. Around the Bend
    Writer/director Jordan Roberts aims for heartwarming drama and settles for tepid entertainment.
  3. Primer
    Every frame of the way, it's eminently clear that Primer is the work of an engineer, not a film- maker.
  4. Go Further
    Whether Mann's film will make a difference, however, is another question. He devotes little time to really exploring the issues, leaving the film a patchwork of assertions that, while they may be true, have to be taken on faith.
  5. Stage Beauty
    There's an enjoyably literate style here and some humorous moments.
  6. Ladder 49
    In its best moments, the film works as both an exciting and formula-breaking action-adventure and as an enjoyably sappy tearjerker.
  7. Shark Tale
    It's overblown and greedy and feels like more of a merchandizing scheme than a movie.
  8. I Heart Huckabees
    Despite a consistent tone of all-out absurdity, it's a very demanding movie, and its goofiness is never inspired or laugh-out-loud funny enough to carry us along on its leap of imagination.
  9. Dig!
    Captures the infantile fantasies of rock 'n' roll's self-made messiahs with an honesty that is rare in today's MTV world of promotional entertainment.
  10. Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry
    It's a partisan campaign film, of course, but a subtle one.
  11. Woman Thou Art Loosed
    For all the tough-minded talk and frank portraits of inner-city life, however, the film is not altogether convincing.
  12. Shaun of the Dead
    It's bloody brilliant.

    First Daughter
    Though First Daughter delivers a nice twist about midway through and Keaton lights up the screen every time he's on it, Holmes fails to deliver the kind of nuanced performance "Pieces of April" suggests she's capable of.
  14. The Forgotten
    It struck me as the most exciting and original Hollywood thriller, occult or otherwise, since "The Sixth Sense."
  15. The Motorcycle Diaries
    Captures the lovely, heart-and-eye-opening ode to youthful possibility with affection and compassion.
  16. The Last Shot
    Baldwin and Broderick each click in their roles and consistently rise above their material in every scene. But the movie around them falls flat and can't begin to sustain its premise.
  17. A Dirty Shame
    It may not be art, but A Dirty Shame is shameless fun.
  18. The Yes Men
    Fascinates by its very premise: the fact that, on the basis of a Web site logo, these two bozos could so easily pass themselves off as important officials.
  19. The Take
    Ultimately a primer. Without actually putting it in direct terms, it proposes a revolutionary solution, not just in Argentina but everywhere that the corporate culture has failed its workers and their communities.
  20. Mr 3000
    As fresh as a highlight reel of day-after replays, Mr. 3000 is a case of major-league talent stuck in a minor-league story.
  21. Wimbledon
    Surprisingly, the weak link is Dunst, who's previously been the delight of all her movies.
  22. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    For 12-year-old boys, period.
  23. Head in the Clouds
    An exceedingly dull retro-weepie.
  24. Zelary
    There is a heart-warming familiarity to much of its 2 1/2-hour tale, but the surprises around its edges gives Zelary a refreshing perspective.
  25. Silver City
    An effective political lampoon.
  26. Cowboys & Angels
    A modest but amiable comedy.
  27. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
    The impressive marriage of CGI backgrounds and traditional hand-drawn characters gives Oshii more tools to sculpt his vision in color and light.
  28. Goodbye, Dragon Inn
    At once an elegy for the communal experience of cinema-going and another quintessentially Tsai portrait of loneliness and isolation.
  29. Incident at Loch Ness
    In its final scenes, when truth and superstition collide, the film becomes more preposterous than anything Penn may have contrived earlier.
  30. National Lampoon's Gold Diggers
    Less offensive than embarrassing, at least for the chagrined performers.
